I don't know if this has been suggested yet but if it hasn't;
It would be interesting if there was a % chance that a random wandering monster would appear from the bushes/rocks off the board and enter the battle. It would enter at a random tile and attack the nearest creature or player, essentially being neutral. In the event the random creature is of the same type already on the board, it would join the fight on that side. That could include our own troop types(Rocs,monks...) so there is an equal chance the stack could be on our side as to joining the enemy stacks. It would lend a sense of extra danger to the battle because you would never know when or if a stack could appear. |
| Sounds ok...but you have to put limits on tiers. Because you cant have level 5's fighting and all of sudden cerberi come running at them because the person its closest 2 will get eaten. |
lol @ masterTI
what's wrong with that? I'd just laugh at them ))
I don't know about this. They would have to stay neutral otherwise, fights could just be decided on these random appearances.
Then everyone would just avoid rocks tho lol. |
Of course there would have to be a system so the monster wouldnt be unbeatable compared to the level of player fighting. The % appearance would also be very low, maybe even 1% but the idea is more about the possibility of it happening and lending the unknown to any battle, making it more interesting.
The monster would attack the closest creature/player throughout the battle with random attacks when next to more than one stack.
Of course this idea won't be used but it would be a cool addition to the game IMO.
I'm not a mage so I don't know what high level spells they have but is there a charm spell? % chance that a mage could charm an enemy stack to fight for them for some number of rounds? Very high mana cost to make it only attempted in a last ditch effort to save your hide :P |
very good idea +1
putting this % cance (even if 1%) makes the game more exciting and really tests a players skills and cunning. kudos to Modi if hes the first to come up with this. |

question:
IF this can happen in a duel and group battle (which I am not sure as you did not specify), and it is a battle between 2 dark elves and in comes troops that they both have, which side will the troops join? |
| I think the one that has the stack closer |
| its not good. Just makes it all luck who gets the monsters. If they never happen, or very few, than its not really effecting anything, but its not interesting either. |
| ^^ This could happen if admin not wandering somewhere else. |

The majority of the time the monsters would be neutral so " who gets the monsters" hardly applies. As for it being not interesting, that's your opinion.
If we live in a wild country with many monsters roaming the land and the sound of battle is heard in the distance, it would make sense that a hungry monster may wander over to see if he could get a meal. You have to have a bit of imagination. Some of us do, some don't. |
11:
I thought u said equal chance to join a side...that's a lot.
And about not being interesting, I mean if like 2 demons appear, that doesn't really matter, and its not very interesting. But it 100 demons appear, that's different and it would be interesting, but then it could be whoever gets the demons wins. |
Equal chance meaning if the wandering monster happens to be the same type as a player owns or is of the same type of monster you are fighting, it would join you/them. Most of the time it would be a neutral creature because it is a random type.
Example:
Demons fighting Royal Griffons and a stack of Ogre Magi appears from the woods and goes haywire on anything in its path. |

Oh great 4th level master of the game. Thank you for gracing my thread with your post. Let me help you with your reading comprehension.
It would be interesting(for the game) is the reason I gave for this thread.
Meaning it is an idea placed here for others to give a plus or minus for a game improvement idea.
Now if you don't like the idea, not a problem, but don't come here citing some garbage you don't know about.
Looking forward to more of your wonderful 4th level mastery in the future :P |
| sounds gd how about a npc hero with an army could join a battle 2 =p the sound of battle in woods might attract heros near by |

The idea should answer why the game should have it, why it is important for the game, not to post an idea for people to comment on.
If it doesn't, it should be in the Creative Works section, not in Ideas and Suggestions. This is not a place for others to give a plus or minus |

Yeah OK. Ignore the whole idea thread and what is on it. Tons of other threads here that do the same thing asd mine and because they are left open by mods, threads like mine pop up. Don't worry, this is the last time I place an idea here. So many forum stalkers with nothing better to do than be difficult. Like Empire reads these anyway. LOL ya right! |
